Haaland is a brilliant goalscorer and maybe he will have 1 goal or an assist but I don't think he will score twice. Despite the fact that Odegaard is missing and Arsenal will have little time to rest and today's away game against Atalanta, Arsenal's defense is excellent. But these are very contradictory arguments because if you look at it from a statistical angle, Haaland can be a good captain because last spring in the same conditions Man City thrashed Arsenal 4:1.
In practice, that is going to be difficult because HAL 9000 has scored in every single match this season, so far.
But it seems like every big game Haaland leaves with zero goals scored? The game against the main competitor should be big enough for Haaland not to score a goal
Overall, I think that a 0-0 scoreline would suit this game very well - both teams like to control the ball and will do so, there won't be time to score goals
It is more likely to be a 0-0 snoozefest like the last time they played each other.
I guess congratulations in advance to everyone who has an Arsenal defender.
If we can hold Manchester City to a goalless draw, that's more points for whoever has our defenders and goalkeeper because Arsenal have easier fixtures after the Manchester City game where we could keep clean sheets until GW9, where we face Liverpool, GW10, we face Newcastle, and GW11, we face Chelsea. Until those fixtures, Arsenal defenders and even Goalkeeper will be good points. I guess congratulations in advance to everyone who has an Arsenal defender.

I don't think that Haaland at 15 mil is a must this season. He started really well but City had an easy fixtures list.
The problem starts if you do pay that 15 mil and then don't captain him. Everybody does and your captain choice must make a difference too, which Salah didn't do for me in the last round.
That's 10+ points difference there only in 1 round and that shit adds up fast.

I was thinking about the value of the players and it seems to me that he is too cheap. The cheapest player (who will probably bring few points) costs 4 million. Haaland is only 4 times more expensive, but he will bring much more than x4 points compared to weak players. And if we take into account the bonus for captaincy and the fact that he is stable, then in my opinion the real price of Haaland is 35-40 million. In fact, the whole game comes down to choosing a goalkeeper who will keep a clean sheet. Captain Haaland without question. With current prices, you can choose a couple more stars and hope for them.
And who said Arsenal can't score in the game? Of course, Arsenal will score in the game.

Proud of Arsenal, we found a way to win even from our disadvantaged position, and that is how big teams do. Next game against Manchester City, not sure we will be very lucky.
Mikel Arteta is a genius the approach he employed in winning Tottenham in that game underscores how much of a good coach he is. For the Manchester City game against his side next weekend I think this game result would decide alot for both teams in the title race. it going to be a daunting and tough one on Arteta because City would obviously be in control of the midfield a strong position for them and that will create much pressure on Arsenal, unlike Ange Postecoglou, Pep Gardiola is a tactician that knows very well how to breakthrough proving defense line to find the back of the net. We'll see what Arteta decision would be on that faithful day.

KDB is always turned on when he plays Arsenal; he is more likely to get the most points from that game.
That game will not be a good game to captain Haaland.
Something we could agree on though., Haaland is likely going to be silenced, there wouldn’t be many goals but, Arsenal could lose and that’s it. Doku would be getting an assist in this one, KDB is sure to try some long range shots as most of the crosses to Haaland wouldn’t come off successfully, then we’ve got Foden on a side and Gundogan to aid the team do the most. That game will not be a good game to captain Haaland.
I don’t think even Arsenal is going to be a difficult fixture for Manchester City. They would be looking to get points from that game for Rivalry’s sake and that Viking, nothing is getting him patched up.
Arsenal's defensive duo Gabriel and Saliba successfully kept him mute last season in both the home and away games. Arsenal's defensive line also looked very good against Tottenham; they kept Solanke occupied the whole of the game, and Tottenham could not find a way even though they had lots of attacking chances. Arsenal can do it again this season; keep Haaland from scoring even if we still end up losing the game (because any player can score for City). KDB is always turned on when he plays Arsenal; he is more likely to get the most points from that game. That game will not be a good game to captain Haaland.
I don't think that Haaland at 15 mil is a must this season. He started really well but City had an easy fixtures list.
Problem is, when you look at City every fixture looks easy. Granted they now have Arsenal which is though but after that it is all easy for the robot.Newcastle (bad defense this season but could be considered though)
Fulham H (conceding goals and chances against anybody)
Wolves A (Chelsea scored 6 here)
Southampton H (maybe easiest fixture in the season)
Bournemouth A
Brighton A
If he isn't injured he is in my team and captain in all of those except against arsenal. It is actually a blessing when you don't have to think about stuff like captaincy every week
£15 kept him off my radar and I eventually bought him at £15.2. After loosing points to the GWs.

Holland really made the first few rounds boring: the only success was whether you picked him or not.
We all have to just suck it up and get Haaland, then we have rest of team to do as we please. Nobody will win our mini league because of Haaland captain, you can loose it but you can't win it on that pick. Win will come for getting the rest of it right like Sanches and Gabriel in this round.Also Haaland damage is psychological more than anything. If I asked you to tell me how much points lead he has on other players what would be your answer?
It is actually 9 points, and before this last GW he and Salah were both on 41. And nobody was that afraid of Salah. It is just best to get him and give him captain band almost every week than to ruin the FPL experience for yourself.
Captain's armband + tripling made the difference in the first rounds. It's not just few points (but i understand that you tell about Salah) I just bought Haaland and unfortunately he only made a double. Yes, I consciously played against him in the first rounds and my bet did not play, that's normal.
Now I'll have to come up with new risky tricks to try to compensate for the damage that's already been done.
The problem is the generally the other players you have to put up with, I didn't have Haaland until this game week and it's not as terrible for me, what Trofo is saying is that just count Haaland as default pick for every player then try to beat others with the rest of your squad rather than trying thinking every game week on how to minimize the Haaland's effect or finding potential captain that could possibly outshine him, while Sallah was able to save my arse for the first 3 weeks, it would have been an horrendous outing if I had not brought in Haaland this week.

Can someone explain to me how points are awarded?
In the picture, if you add up the players' points, I see 82 points, if you subtract the fine for transfers, it will be 74 points. Why is 68 shown?

I am more concerned why you thought it would be a good idea to stick Watkins 3rd on bench behind (Amadou) Onana and McGinn.
Believe me, I'm also questioning myself about this
But the answer is simple, I made transfers in a hurry and then when I was choosing a team, I may have made a misclick. So it was no any idea but just accident.

Well guys its official im in the drak side of the Premier Fantasy now. Very sad for this but i cant loss so much points only because a fucking player, all the diference in the pool is made by this man Haaland, so better now than later.
I also pay 8 points deduction to make space for him, but as i said is impossible to still without him, in this round all were shit performance but that 26 points of Haaland make all the diference for everyone.

The bench player plays only if you have activated the chip. The sum of points is taken into account minus transfer points.
